gregy,
I'm surprised! Before the rewrite of the pages on Egghead, I would
sometimes have to set Arachne to *not* download images or else Arachne
would lock up. Now I don't have that problem at all, have no trouble
getting pages down with 14.4bps modem, etc. I can see all the pages,
except for the shmtl stuff they've written for shopping cart & actual
purchase. But as long as they have an 800# I'm in fine shape.
Dunno where the problem you have originates, but I'd say it wasn't at
Egghead's server or site.
l.d.
